    because ST was disappointing and he needs to flip momentum somehow before the next round of primaries as soon as possible to keep his delegate deficit as tight as possible. it's very possible biden's momentum can lead to him running up the score on bernie again next Tuesday which would make the odds of a contested convention slim to none and bernie's chances at being the nominee virtually 0. he needs something big and he needs it now

    Warren flew up from Boston to be announced as VP? Lol

    Working in flint today and I was behind a pick up truck with a confederate flag tailgate and two bumper stickers that said “I heart boobies” and “I heart vagina.”

    he passed the Cadillac in front of him and the Cadillac had a trump and a maga sticker.

    just in case y’all wanted a no hope at all for Michigan

    I thought 2500 kits meant around 1.3m tests or something like that

    just read on the CDC website that each kit contains tests for 700-800 patient specimens

    Just an FYI kits =/= total tests. Each kit has multiple tests iirc

    Just so we're clear: neither Biden nor Bernie should pick Warren as VP. Not only would it be very bad to lose her Senate seat if she isn't leaving it to become the president, but both of them can and should pick a person of color, specifically a woman of color. We can't have an all-white Democratic ticket, it is not representative of the party.

    Does it matter how many kits are out there when no one can fucking afford the cost to get tested, the isolation and time off work if they’re positive, or the medical bills to treat them. Order 90,000,000 kits for all I care if they are not affordable you might as well order zero.

    Really think Julian Castro might be the pick for Biden the more my very tired brain thinks about it. Warren and Sanders can throw him progressive Bonafides on the trail and he can help Biden make inroads in with Latinos and progressives.

    There really isn't a perfect VP choice for Biden. Getting a woman and a person of color to diversify the ticket is good. But you also want to diversify the ticket in terms of age. And in terms of policy. And in terms of where in the country they are from. Really isn't anyone who checks all those boxes.

    But Warren only checks two of those boxes (policy and gender). So there are definitely better choices.

    I have no other thoughts on how Bernie can win over her voters, build a huge ass coalition going into the convention despite a near delegate tie at best if not a delegate deficit to biden, and not lose to trump.

    Serious question...why does Biden have such strong support among African Americans? Do they not care about Anita Hill and how Biden worked to silence her?

    Is he just riding Obama’s coattails for their support?

    I was thinking him as well but I have to say even though I agree with it...Castro's proposal to make border open polls incredible bad from what I heard on one of Ezra Klein's podcast. Think it polled at the lowest of any of the progressive ideas.

    Well I assume that would be one of the first policies thrown out, but iirc he was just talking about decriminalizing, not open borders...and the best way to do that tbh is to not talk about it on the campaign trail at all and the quietly do it once you’re in control hah

    i mean, Abrams kinda seems like the perfect choice, no? i don’t want her on a ticket with bernie at allll, but i do think if bernie were to choose her and do so before the convention, it would be bad news for bern

    He never called for open borders. He simply wanted to decriminalize border crossings, which would just make it a civil offense. Beto and Warren both agreed with him on this I think too

    Think that plays too much into Trump's hands on all of those ideas from throwing it to not even talking about because I guarantee he will talk about. He is going to paint them as for "open borders" not matter what so actually having a policy almost to the exact of doing that is a giant gamble imo.

    Abrams is definitely one of the top choices, if we're being realistic with what joe would accept.
